Audio Review: Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

Audio Review: Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

I’m not sure my words can do this book justice. Iron Widow by is a sci-fi novel unlike any I’ve read. It touches on issues like racism, rape, misogyny, murder,  and femicide just to name a few while also exploring gender roles and turning them on their heads. This is NOT for the faint of […]

Review: Island of Exiles by Erica Cameron

Island of Exiles by is an addictive, high-stakes read. I found myself engrossed from page one. What makes it so addictive was the unique world-building and setting Cameron developed through the eyes of her main character Khya. It is unlike anything I’ve ever read! Khya is a warrior, put simply. She, like everyone else, puts […]

Review: Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller

Review: Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller

It’s like The Hunger Games and Throne of Glass had a baby…Mask of Shadows would be the product. Y’all […]
